Criminal Lawyer Reacts to Investigating the Internet's Most Famous Scammer with PunchMade Dev

[@ddelarosa96]

As someone who has worked the call center for people’s cards, this isn’t a victimless crime. They think, “well as long as they eventually get the money back,” but they don’t think of the person 200 miles from home trying to fill up on gas in the middle of the night on a road trip, stranded in the middle of nowhere because their account is drained and now they can’t afford gas; or a family that can’t afford food for a week. I’ve seen this stuff happen too much to pretend it’s victimless.

[@juliacooper9145]

My ex husband had his account hacked on Christmas eve. It played havoc with our plans for the holiday and well into the new year.

[@canaans1]

They are switched on enough to know it's not victimless. If it's a scam they are unlikely to get money back. Only way is if the bank is good to then or makes concessions towards the relationship as goodwill. It's only straight fraud with 0 error on customers part they are guaranteed to get money back.

[@aceslater5265]

Worked at a big bank for Fraud protection for over ten years. You’re right it’s not victimless at all. It can get someone evicted if it’s at the wrong time, can keep a baby without diapers and formula, and can keep people from getting vital medications. People also don’t realize that the more idiots doing this stuff, the more fees on banks and cards go up so they can continue to make money.

[@daisywaizy4139]

My account was hacked (card cloned) the day before my daughter's birthday party. I went to the ATM to get the remainder of the money for the venue we booked for her party and money was gone. I ended up having to take out a title loan on my car to pay for her party. Although I was able to resolve what happened, the panic that I felt in that moment I wouldnt wish on my worst enemy

[@scott8193]

The reason he started to wonder is because, he worked at the airport and can fly where ever he wants, so it seemed plausible to my dad.

As a bank fraud investigation manager I can assure you it is not a victimless crime. When the bank loses the community loses as well. And often the loss is put back on the customer. The Stories that I could tell you. Having said that a lot of people go along with the scams because of their own greed.

[@CaptainWumbo]

Giving people stress and stealing their time and putting marks next to their name is not victimless even if they get the money back but it's a load of bs that the bank isn't charging all they can get away with every quarter, if there were no scams it would be no different and many scams are only possible because of complacency of the bank and other institutions that make a calculation the losses make up for the gains, a calculation which never takes into account the victims who get hit. Sorry no sympathy for the wealthiest people in the world nickle and diming the poorest, not much better than the scammers just on the convenient side of the law.

You're working at McDonalds, or a diner, or Walmart? It's too busy to be checking $20s. If you don't do it TERRIBLY, they're easy to offload and more profitable than $10s. Plus, no one even questions a stack of $20s because that's what ATMs dispense, duh. OF COURSE THE SCAMMER HAS A STACK OF $20s. OF COURSE HE DOES. IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW.

Months later they cleaned me out and my bank refused to cover it. I am still not back on my feet and to see this brazen AH boasting and bragging about doing this to people like me is infuriating.

By far the most infuriating part of this video was the lady in the store, on her high horse about hating scammers... but was then quite happy to benefit from stolen money as long as she's winning from it. That's half the problem today, everybody beats the "be kind to others" drum when it requires zero investment and nothing is happening, but you watch how fast everyone is happy to screw over other people if it benefits them directly. This goes across all areas of life, even stupid minor things like those people who get up at 6am on holiday to throw a towel on a sunbed to stop someone else from using it... then rock up at 1pm to eventually use it. But as long as you're alright and got what you wanted, f**k everyone else. But be kind though and considerate though, as long as I say those words then I'm doing good in the world.

Good call Bruce as always spitting the truth,enlightening folks and giving great advice that my friend is called a conspiracy what he did, even if he didn’t knowingly take part in the scam like you said, you can’t teach people how to scam that’s called a conspiracy, any illegal act with more than one person, or knowledge of a criminal act or enterprise( now they can’t look inside your head and know what you know or see what you know, but when you put it all on film for the whole world to see then yes) and yes, I tell my mom and my family and friends never use the machine at the pump unless the gas station is closed and it’s after midnight or after hours and you absolutely have to always go inside for many reasons one they can put a hold on your account sometimes up to $200 on a debit card which is crazy and they can’t do the skimming machines inside at the register only on the pump even some ATMs they have the skimming machines…

[@rylandavis2976]

No, it is not conspiracy to teach people how to scam. Conspiracy requires much more than just plain information on how to do an illegal thing. Information on how to do something that is illegal, is 100% constitutionally protected speech. You don't get to conspiracy until you start making a plan to actually do it, or money changes hands. It's like saying it's illegal to teach someone how to hack into computers, it's just not. You can literally pay for classes and get entire degrees that will teach you how to hack into computers, there are entire KZbin channels dedicated to teaching hacking. It's the entire concept of red team v blue team, big companies will literally pay people to try to hack into their systems, and in exchange the hackers write a report on how they did it and what to improve. Information like how to hack computers and how scams operate is 100% constitutionally protected speech, even things like how to make a bomb are constitutionally protected speech. Considering raw information like this as "conspiracy" is fundamentally contradictory to freedom of speech they cannot coexist together. Probably the best example is the Snowden case. Snowden took the information that he illegally stole from the government and gave it to the new York times. The new York times then went and publicly published these highly classified and illegally obtained information. By your definition of conspiracy, the new York times staff should all be in jail right now. We literally have a supreme Court decision on this very issue. It's called new York time co vs United States and the court ruled that not only could the government not punish the journalists who published the Pentagon papers, the court denied the governments request of an injunction against publication. Conspiracy requires a hell of a lot more than just posting on KZbin how crimes are committed

It's called New York times Co vs Sullivan where the court ruled that the government could not only not criminally punish the journalist for publishing the illegal information, but the court also denied them an injunction to get the information taken down. You can still go read the Pentagon papers to this very day, and it's not a conspiracy. The film maker here is doing journalism, maybe it's ethically dubious journalism. But it is 100% constitutionally protected. It's total nonsense to claim that its illegal to teach someone how to do illegal things, you can literally buy books on Amazon that will teach you how to hack computers, buying one of these books does not mean that you are guilty of conspiracy to commit a cyber crime.

The thing is that by the letter of the law (UCC and state equivalents) NONE of these transactions over the phone are actually authorized since they don’t have a *valid signature* to authorize the transaction as required by law. Companies make the calculation that it is much more profitable to not fully comply with the law because it increases volume of sales. The flip side is this is the risk they take. Every single time they take a card payment over the phone they’re in a legal gray area of choosing convenience and profit over security. 1 out of 100 transactions might be invalidated… but all 100 were legally questionable on the part of the seller.

You’re throwing around the word “prove” very loosely. The prosecution and defense merely present evidence…the jury decides who is telling the truth. Merely introducing evidence is *not proof* of anything. A couple of comments above mention that the burden is on the prosecution. Yeah, obviously. But once credible evidence has been introduced the burden shifts to the defense to dispute the evidence or claim an affirmative defense, creating *reasonable* doubt. In the example of fake guns…bring in the fake guns to be examined…or show receipts. Incredibly simple tbh.
